Question about the glue up

Use less glue.
No really I'm not trying to be smart, use less glue, when I'm gluing up I only run two very small beads of glue down both side of the segment and get very little glue squeeze out. Also, it you up your segment count the space get small enough you don't have to worry about it.
You can also change to open gap size to something smaller there is no number that is standard. experiment with smaller open gap, right now I am using 12% open gap
